I froze it via titanium on my F400S. It didn't cause any issues and it was still there in case I needed an ota.

People see the word antivirus and think it's absolutely needed. It's just another way for those companies to make money. People would buy an antivirus program for their toilets if someone told them they needed it.

I installed adfree. To my phone ...
Then hours later 4 new apps showed up.
There not in play store so I can uninstall them... there not in settings app to uninstall
And I even went as far as to look in root explorer... nothing there either. On the net it says there real apps but I DID NOT PUT THEM THERE! I don't know if adblock is the root cause or what to do I really don't want to do a fresh install.. but it looks like I may have to.... here a pic the apps at the top just appeared ... lookout detected nothing....
Edit: its hard to see but there all like catch a chearter... GPS a cheater... extra.

Adfree altered my host file.... I could try titanium but would that pull out the root changes and unhost the changes in the file?

Wipe Data, Format SD Card, Reflash Rom, do not reinstall apps from Titanium Bakcup, do fresh installs.
The only way to be sure that the malware/spyware is gone.
I have been running adfree for months now and this has not happened to me. There is no way you got this from adfree. You either got it from web browsing on your phone or there is another application you installed that put them there.

That is caused by a already installed app. Uninstall the app before you started to get these ads and they will not show again

Yup its YouTube downloaded by air soft...
It said 101 apps. 161 ad on's but only showed that YouTube app as cause..
Thanks bro... u saved me

For a solid YouTube downloader, try Tubemate. You can't get it from the Play Store but you can get it in the Amazon Market or the app's website I believe. No adds or spam, the only problem is it can only download videos for which there are mobile versions. About one in 10 videos doesn't have a mobile version, in my experience.
Hello,
I just updated to JB and was able to remove all bloat except the mobile hotspot app.
Does anybody know the name of the .apk that needs removing?
Thank you in advance.

Use this application: "Root-App uninstaller" from Google Play and click on SYS App and you will see it there, first disable it and then click RECYCLE and then click the app again to uninstall it. Hit thanks please!

I was wondering the same thing myself. I know that its a system app... been on the phone since I got it on release day.
As an aside this same app came up in my wifes HTC One update list today also.
Dont know if its just me but the touch screen does seem smoother
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its for testing touch screen, you don't have to update it,
Anyone tried to uninstall it? or even freeze it in titanium? Im kinda afraid to try it myself... worried the screen wont work after.
My mom has a HTC one x and I'm not completely sure what happened but she lost all her contacts and apps like I think they phone got reset it is rooted with cleanrom is there anyway I can recover her contacts? They are even gone off of the SIM any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
